Young shoots of both stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) and white deadnettle (Lamium album). People say they can tell them apart, but I've seen experienced people pick the wrong one ... no biggie, but they do different things. Annala, Helsinki, Finland. Wild. 2003-10-09.

Large stand. _The_ culinary herb, and a great medicinal plant, too. Stings, but we all need some defense. Lots of trace minerals. Diuretic. Get the seeds, dry them, use them one spoonful each day to keep the doctor away. Liljendal, Finland. Wild. 1993-06-01.
